First Day of Kindergarten

Today was the day!

Our sweet little Brookie started Kindergarten. Last night while getting her into bed she started to cry. (Made us cry too.) We asked her what was wrong and she kept saying she was scared. "I'm scared I wont have any friends." It broke our hearts. We said special prayer together and she prayed that she would have friends.

After I got off work this morning I hurried home to get her ready. The second I got home she started saying, "I don't want to go! I'm not going. I want to stay home!" I tried over and over to convince her that it would be fun and that she would make friends.

Once we arrived at school the parents had to say their goodbyes. Brooklyn started to cry and wouldn't let go of me.  I tried so hard to hold it together. The teacher came over and tried to talk to her. Brooklyn reached for my hand and her teacher took it instead. Leaving her crying like that was one of the hardest things for me to do. I cried and prayed she would be okay.

 

At 3:15 Trace and I headed to pick her up. I was excited to hear about her day! When I arrived Brooklyn was no where to be found. The teacher made a mistake and put her on the bus! Thankfully I was able to get to her in time. She had a smile on her face!  After school we headed to the store and bought frosting and sprinkles to make cake batter pancakes. (It was the closest thing to a cookie I could make without having an oven.) Hopefully tomorrow goes well. She will be riding the bus.

I recorded a video of her first day. I asked her how it went and this is the response I got. She is so cute!
